Digital Devil Story
AKA the trilogy of books that inspired the whole Megami Tensei franchise. I don't know if falls into the criteria for translation on Baka Tsuki, but I'm going to give it a shot. I'd like to request the translation of the third and final book, Demise of the Reincarnation (the first two have already been translated and I can post links if you want to read them). I'd like to give a summary of the final book, but I can't find one anywhere. In fact, there is very little info about it other than "it exists".

Re: Digital Devil Story
Firstly, you can't request, you can only suggest.
Secondly, you need to give more details. Look at other better constructed threads.

For information on megami tensei, use their wiki. Here's the link to the novel page of their wiki.
http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Novels
A blogger's information on the trilogy, namely having the fan-translations of the first 2 books, as well as the notice of a bounty for a translated third, not sure if it is still valid.

Some discussion over volume 3, but no actual details given really, together with a Japanese site giving details of all chapters:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/578475-d ... i/54397446
In short, its a novel series that was adapted into a game and earned great fame. While some dedicated fans tried to dig up the original trilogy novel series, it seems they ultimately failed in the quest, covering 2/3 of the novels.
More details that has some kind of information of volume 3, though not much really:

I haven't read the books, so I can't give any concrete summary/synopsis.
Edit:
There are actually 9 volumes in the series, if not more.
The trilogy mentioned is the "Megami Tensei" series(1986-1988), and there is another 6 known as "Shin Megami Tensei" series(1990-1993).

God!!
You need not forgive me.
For those I love,
The violence brought about by sinful men
Shall now be used once more.
If you were created to save this world,
If there is a single shred of hope left for the future of mankind,
I am very sorry, but, please begone!
